< Artemis Project - Mission 2>
It is a manned space exploration plan involving 32 countries, including the European Space Agency, South Korea, Japan, Australia, and Canada, centered on NASA in the United States.
Last year, the final four astronauts were selected.
With three Americans and one Canadian, a woman and a black man were chosen for the first time in mankind.
The first manned space test flight, scheduled to be launched after May 2024, will enter an automatic return orbit around the moon and return to Earth.
In the sketch stage, the faces of the four selected astronauts were drawn, but due to portrait rights issues, the helmet was changed and colored.
